Summary of Unit
A brief snapshot, as if
someone asked you to
briefly and clearly
describe the intent of the
lesson or project.



As learners we will be using digital technology to explore a variety of plants their parts and the parts function.
Essential Questions
What will guide student
inquiry?



Can you name and identify the parts of a plant?

What is the function of each plant‘s part?

How do we use the parts of a plant?

What examples can you find that shows a variety of plants and their parts?

Compare and contrast different parts of a plant?

Academic Standards
Include technology.
Use district standards
where applicable,
targeting performance
objectives you will
assess.
